New Pregnancy Massage Cushion

Pregnancy massage during the 1st & 2nd Trimester can now be carried out with the Client lying on their front using a special padded cushion this has a dip around the abdomen & elevates the whole body up to take pressure off of the baby to protect & enable ultimate comfort for Mum.

During the third trimester when the baby is nearly full term the Pregnancy Massage is carried out with the Client on their side & back both sides are included but more time is spent on the left side. This is to ensure treatment timings take in to account that no extra pressure from the baby is applied to the large vein (inferior vena cava) which is on the right & carries de-oxygenated blood back from the feet & legs to the heart. Doctors also recommend during pregnancy lying on the left side with knees bent for the least pressure on organs specifically the liver.
